Events
Match Events
- 0' We are underway at Rat Verlegh Stadion. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' We are waiting for someone to take the initiative. Who will be the first to commit to attack?
- 10' Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 15' It looks like no one’s ball. NAC Breda is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 20' The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Thomas Bruns suffering a number of foals already.
- 25' Mitchell te Vrede has been one of the livelier players on the pitch with 0 goals to his name this season.
- 30' The 28-year-old Ritsu Doan has been sensational this season — 0 goals and 1 assists is a remarkable return.
- 35' Poor challenge from Mimoun Mahi. The referee spots it immediately and shows the Yellow card.
- 38' The referee has no hesitation. Menno Koch is booked for NAC Breda — Yellow card on 38.
- 43' NAC Breda is defending very well tonight not leaving a chance for their rivals to get through for a goal.
- 46' The crowd applauds Alex Gersbach as he leaves the pitch. Gregory Leigh steps in for NAC Breda.
- 51' The travelling FC Groningen supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 56' Pele van Anholt, a Netherlands , has 0 bookings this season and will need to keep his discipline tonight.
- 61' It looks surprising FC Groningen does not make any changes. Ludovit Reis has some obvious troubles when approaching to the goal.
- 63' Another substitution for FC Groningen to replace Kaj Sierhuis by Iliass Bel Hassani on 63 minute.
- 68' Sullay Kaikai is ready to make an impact after coming on for Giovanni Korte at the 68 minute mark.
- 73' The FC Groningen bench stirs into life. Thomas Bruns is withdrawn and Mo El Hankouri gets his opportunity.
- 78' The tempo has dropped considerably in the last few minutes. Danny Buijs will be considering his options from the bench.
- 83' Over 83 minutes have gone by without a meaningful attack. The supporters want more.
- 85' Another substitution for NAC Breda to replace Dorian Dervite by Robert Muhren on 85 minute.
- 88' The FC Groningen bench stirs into life. Mimoun Mahi is withdrawn and Paul Gladon gets his opportunity.
- 0-0 the final result. will be bitterly disappointed.
